Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Faced with the crowd's laughter, Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged. He simply moved his lips slightly and recited a series of hand seals. Immediately, a hazy green glow emanated from the cleaver.

When this glow reached its peak, Chen Tian released his right hand, and the cleaver instantly shot out, creating a sharp, tearing sound in the air, as if trying to cut through the very atmosphere.

However, Lan Hai, upon seeing this, still wore a relaxed expression. He glanced slightly at the cleaver rapidly approaching him, then sneered, "Like an ant trying to stop a chariot, you're asking for death!"

With that, Lan Hai didn't even bother to take out any powerful magical treasures to defend himself. He simply flicked the left sleeve of his robe, and a stream of blue mist shot out from his cuff, rushing to meet the incoming cleaver.

As soon as this blue mist appeared, it instantly transformed into a ferocious tiger, galloping through the air on all fours, opening its bloody maw to bite down on the cleaver.

Upon seeing this, everyone assumed that the cleaver would definitely be torn to pieces by the tiger. So, they relaxed, watching everything like they were enjoying a good show.

But who knew that what happened next would exceed everyone's expectations.

Just as the tiger reached the cleaver at an extremely fast speed, it opened its mouth and bit down on the blade. However, instead of the cleaver shattering into pieces as everyone expected, the tiger's two fangs instantly broke upon impact.

As if in great pain, the tiger roared and pounced on the cleaver again. The cleaver was not to be outdone and engaged the tiger in a fierce battle.

For a time, the two fought fiercely, neither gaining an advantage.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned. They had thought it would be a contest without any suspense, but they never expected it to end in a stalemate.

So, everyone focused their attention on Chen Tian, whispering to each other, as if trying to understand the background of this small Huatian Realm cultivator.

Lan Hai couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw this.

He originally thought that he could easily defeat Chen Tian because of his weak cultivation, which was why he had agreed to the challenge.

But who knew that Chen Tian's strength would far exceed his expectations, making it impossible to defeat him immediately.

"Disgrace! This is simply a great disgrace!"

For Chen Tian to even have the power to fight back was a great disgrace to Lan Hai.

Enraged, Lan Hai waved his sleeve again, and a golden light shot out.

As soon as the golden light appeared, it quickly transformed in the air, instantly forming a golden giant dragon, which, together with the tiger, attacked the cleaver from the left and right.

After all, Lan Hai's cultivation was much higher than Chen Tian's, so under his full power, cracks appeared on the cleaver, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that he was going to lose this competition.

However, just as Chen Tian was feeling disheartened, suddenly, an invisible force shot from afar at an extremely fast speed, entering the cleaver without anyone noticing.

After absorbing this force, the cleaver, which was originally on the verge of collapse, suddenly shone brightly, erupting with an unprecedented terrifying aura.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was immediately surprised. Because he could clearly feel that he had lost control of the cleaver.

However, what happened next was even more shocking to Chen Tian.

The cleaver, now out of his control, carried an indescribable terrifying aura and flew rapidly towards the ferocious golden dragon.

"Roar..."

Accompanied by an extremely miserable scream of pain, the golden dragon was instantly cut in two by the cleaver, and its huge body transformed into endless golden light, scattering on the sea.

Seeing this scene, the other tiger seemed to sense that something was wrong. Shocked, it quickly turned around and ran back towards Lan Hai.

But at this moment, the cleaver transformed into a stream of light, bringing with it bursts of tearing sounds, and chased after it like a thunderbolt. With a downward slash, it also cut the tiger in two.

This scene happened too fast, so fast that everyone didn't have any time to react. As a result, they were still standing there with their mouths wide open, stunned.

Especially Lan Hai, who was extremely shocked. At the same time, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out. Fortunately, he managed to force the blood back by circulating his energy. However, his face was pale.

While everyone was still in shock, the strange cleaver had already flown back into Chen Tian's palm.

And the moment Chen Tian grasped the cleaver, the powerful force that had been added to the cleaver suddenly dissipated like flowing water, and cracks appeared on the blade again.

Seeing this magical scene, Chen Tian felt unbelievable. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and glanced at the crazy old man.

At this time, the crazy old man was stroking his beard with his left hand, his face full of satisfaction.

Seeing this, Chen Tian seemed to understand something. Immediately, he stepped forward with the cleaver in his hand, slowly scanned the crowd of the Sea King Sect, and said in a domineering voice, "Who else is not convinced?"

Hearing Chen Tian's domineering words, the people of the Sea King Sect lowered their heads.

After witnessing the magical phenomenon just now, who would dare to be unconvinced?

Lan Hai felt bitter in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he reached into his arms and took out a jade box covered with blue spiritual seals. He walked up to Chen Tian and respectfully handed it to him, saying, "Here are the Sea King Pills. Please accept them, Junior Brother."

In the world of cultivation, strength is respected. Since he lost, he had to accept the bet. Even though he was unwilling, Lan Hai still handed the Sea King Pills to Chen Tian.

Looking at the jade box covered with seals, Chen Tian's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, but his face remained calm. He took it from Lan Hai.

After taking a deep look at the jade box, Lan Hai sighed and walked back dejectedly.

Chen Tian put the jade box into his storage ring and returned to the crazy old man, smiling and saying, "Master, I won."

"Haha, good! As expected of my good disciple! This time, you have earned enough face for your master. Well done!" The crazy old man patted Chen Tian's shoulder, his joy overflowing.

After laughing wildly, he finally released Chen Tian's shoulder, looked at the blue-robed old man who was still standing on the Flood Dragon with a calm expression, and grinned, "Old Hai, shouldn't you hand over your things too?"
